Famous quotes containing the word girl:

    “A girl I had, but she followed another,
    Money I had, and it went in the night,
    Strong drink I had, and it brought me to sorrow,
    But a good strong cause and blows are delight.”
    All there caught up the tune:
    “On, on, my darling man.”
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I am just a little girl who’s looking for a little boy who’s looking for a girl to love.
    Ira Gershwin (1896–1983)

    I never felt I could give up my life of freedom to become a man’s housekeeper. When I was young, if a girl married poverty, she became a drudge; if she married wealth, she became a doll. Had I married at twenty-one, I would have been either a drudge or a doll for fifty-five years. Think of it!
    Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
